At least one enterprise for the recovery
of sunken treasure has been successful.
On one of the last days Of the eighteenth CEN
fury the frigate Lutine sailed from Yarmouth
for the Texel with an immense quantity of
treasure on board. Next day the vessel was
lost ON the coast OF Holland. From that day to
this salving operations have been carried on
with varying fortune. Within eighteen months
ES0,000 was recovered. Then the wreck was
left alone till 1914. From 1914 to 1891 work was
carried on. but only few silver pieces were
recovered. In 1922 great effort was made. at
q cost of several thousand pounds. The result
was NIL. Then for years the attempt was all
but abandoned. Between 1857 and 1881, how
ever, "Lloyds'-which had now undertaken
the work-recoveredo over 950,000 half of which
was handed over to the Dutch government.
Since then they have had yet further successes.
Among the salvage recently brought up was
one of the Lutine's guns It has been pre-
scented to the corporation of London; and now,
after its three quarters Of century under the
sea, finally reposes In the Guildhall Museum.
So many unsuccessful attempts have
been made to commit murder by means of In
fernal machines that most people have come
to regard these engines as comparatively harm
less. But that they can do their work with
deadly certainty when all the circumstances
are favorable is proved by terrible crime
which has Just been committed In Spain. A
young medical man at Archidona was engaged
to a young lady Of great beauty. During
visit to Granada he learned that the lady was
carrying on Irritation with one of his friends
He at once returned home and compelled her
to give the rival his congo there and then. Two
months later the doctor and the lady were
married, and all wont wen. About year after
the wedding the doctor received one day by
railway from Madrid wooden box. He opened
It in presence of his wife, and the next instant
they were both blown TO pieces. The incident
of the rival was known in the town, and he was
arrested upon suspicion Of having sent the box.
The stupidity Of military etiquette
abroad was recently finely illustrated by
thick-headed person, one Colonel II. @. Collier.
commanding hussar regiment. He recently
marched squadron = distance OF twenty-five
miles; soon after starting II began to rain, and
when the men arrived at their destination they
were soaked to the skin. and their pitiable con-
dition excited the commiseration of the towns
people. The remarkable part Of the story IA
that the men were all equipped with cloaks
which being strapped on the saddle in front of
them only aggravated the circumstances. 1t
seems that the colonel not being provided with
q cloak, It was contrary to military etiquette
for him to allow the men to wear theirs. I'm
like the officers, the poor fellows were unable
to have their warm bath and change of fresh
clothing on arriving at their billets. Many of
them barely managed TO get their clothes dry
in time TO start next morning.
News has been received In Dublin of
the Phoenix Park informers, sent by the gov
eminent to various colonies some three and
a-half years ago, after the Invincible trials.
